A Walk in Siena | Oil on Canvas | 12" x 12"
The art of Joel Barr reflects the vision of a unique and provocative Southern oil painter and mixed-media artist. Always known as a colorist, Barr's highly textured recent work boldly explores the relationship of foreground and background, using rich color itself as both surface and subject. All of his renderings, including landscapes, sculpture, paintings of people and animals, abstracts and highly surreal pieces, represent Barr's creative examination of man's relationship to his own interior world and to the universe at large. The art of Joel Barr is the art of conversation, always asking questions of both artist and observer. His work is widely collected by corporations and individuals with an eye for innovative contemporary art.
